12oz bottle from package store in New Orleans. Pours a generally clear copper color with a white foamy head that settles slowly and laces the glass. Aroma is sweet and malty with notes of grass, hay, yeast, sour overripe fruit, some hints of honey and hay. Flavor is sweet and somewhat malty with notes of grain, yeast, bread, some fruit and nut flavors. Generally light body with sour and unpleasant finish.

Had as a bottle poured into a pint glass. It was a light brown color with a thin white head. A bready malt aroma, with the taste of caramel malt sweetness mainly coming through. This is a nice session beer.

Draft. Pours a light amber color with a small white head. Aroma of pale malts, grain, and some light caramel. Flavor is malty sweet with caramel, grains and a touch of hops with a medium body and a dry bitter finish.

Bottle shared with barrios at woody’s courtesy of our beer rep. Thanks Jonathan! Pours a clear golden amber with minimal ring of white head. Aroma of light butter and grain, and corn adjuncts. Flavor is corny, and biscuity with hints of caramel. Not bad, just kinda boring. This strikes me as a Budwieser with a heavier grain bill and thicker palate. But certainly a good easy drinker for mardi gras!

Pours a medium brown with an aroma of malts, caramel and sour fruit. Taste was malty with a bitter finish. Nothing spectacular but it washed down some pretty spicy cajun food so it had an upside.

Bottle. Pours an amber body with an off white head. Big malty content, caramel, grain, light fruity esters and some unrefined sugars. Decent.

UPDATED: JUL 21, 2009 Hazy amber with medium white head. Sweet yeasty aroma with fruity and sourish notes. Sweet flavor with toasted malt, caramel, ripe fruits and yeasty notes. Ends sweet with warming alcohol.

12 oz. Burnt orange with a small lasting head that leaves some nice lacing. Grain and sour apple aroma. Flavors of molasses, sour apple candy, grain, dry grass and alcohol. Light-medium body is mildy carbonated and finishes dryish.
